THE Mayors of Sacramento, San Jose,
Marysville, Santa Cruz, Benicia, Stockton
and Los Angeles and the Boards of Trade
Of San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Cruz,
Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Los Angeles,
have issued an appeal to the voters of the.
State to vote for Amendment Number
Three next Tuesday. These representa-
tives of the chief cities and towns of the
State represent that under the present law,
cities and towns are divided into classes,
and all cities in each class are governed by
the same charter that it is very evident
that many of our cities have outgrown
their original charters, and in seeking to
frame new ones it is found to be impossible
to meet the different conditions and the
requirements, present and prospective, of
eich individual city and town. That this
amendment will enable each city. in a
properly guarded manner, to provide for
its own necessities Fifteen freeholders,
elected by the people, may draft charter,
which is to be submitted to a popular vote,
if adopted and approved by the Legisla-
ture. 1t will then become the charter of
the city. In word, it provides for local
self-government. This is a suceinet state.
ment of the case, but it is subject to much
enlargement The reasons, however. for
sustaining this attempt to bring govern

dent and strong, that We do not deem it
necessary to elaborate them further than
we have done elsewhere in this issue, and
heretofore on several occasions. Let voters
keep this truism in constant view the
closer your government comes to you, the
better for it and you; the further it is re-
moved the more danger there is of your
liberties being subordinated to the infu-

Alameda,


LIvERMoRE. April Sth.-The rainfall for
the storm to P. NJ. is LOS, and it is still
raining hard. Grain in this section of
Alameda county was not suffering for
moisture, but the rain coming now makes
doubly sure the prospects of the usual
yield of cereals. The hay crop, heretofore
immense, will probably be limited on &C
count of cats heading out and becoming
stunted early in the season. The vine
yards are all pruned and in fine condition.
Fully ninety per cent. of the twelve miles
of shade trees planted in town and fruit
trees and vines planted outside are doing
finely.
BETHANY, April Sth.-A warm spell, fol-
lowed by cold night and high wind
brought the welcome rain, which at six
o'clock this evening is still falling. We
have had but one-fourth of an inch at this
hour, but there appears every prospect of
good rainfall.

Died. June %. 1887. at Capertor. West Va,
WILLIAM TALlFERRo BELL, aged %. Such was
the announcement in the papers of death
that brought deep grief TO a large circle of
friends. Sad as it is for the young to die, the
circumstances of this death were peculiarly
distressing. He died from what we call an
accid ent-killed by flying fragment of stone
from a blast; he died at the post of du.y; and
he died alone, far from those he loved and far
from those who loved him.
To those who knew him even very slightly
he was all that Christian gentleman could be
expected to be, courteous, frank and oblging.
TO those who knew him better still the con-
spicuous traits of his character were kindness,
truthfulness and integrity. Only by those who
knew him best could his gentleness, unselhsh-
ness and purity be thoroughly appreciated.
But it wasin the family, as brother and son,
that his disposition and character We're shown
at their best. TO his widowed mother he long
supplied the place of q husband by his watch
full care, of a daughter by his loving thought
fulness, as well as of a son by his loyal tender
affection.
1t is wrong to represent any human character
so faultleSS, but the writer of this notice has
rarely met with one whom II as easy to
love and esteem. His consistent life gave
every evidence of the sincerity and truth of his
christian profession. His pastor, L.. b. j.

because, as it is necessary to say again
| and again the negroes OF the South rejoice
over every loss which the Southern whites
are called upon to bear. These negroes
constitute the bulk of the Republican
| party in the southern States. and would be
| pleased rather than displeased to learn
that the white property -owners OF the
South would, in consequence of the cleo
| ton Of a Republican President and Re
publican Congress, be compelled to live a
| century in a condition of absolute poverty.
| AbseDteeism Of that sort has been ruin
| ing the South for years.-Dtspatch.
We quote the above sentences from an
editorial in the Richmond Dispatch of
| Sunday last, to show the kind of Sunday
literature that paper furnishes its readers
in it's editorial columns. There is not an
intelligent man in Virginia who does not
know that there is nothing in the history
of the people OF the South of one race OF
the other, to justify the charge that any
portion Of them rejoice at the oppression
and misfortune of the other. It is recog-
niZed by all fair thinking men that when
conditions arc boiled down, labor pays the
taxes, and that to impose bardens upon
the white taxpayers is to impose burdens
upon the colored laborers. The Dispatch
cannot point to single instance where
the colored people have rejoiced over the
actual misfortunes and embarrassments of
the white people On the contrary they have
shown their sympathy for ard manifested
interest in the welfare of the white race
whenever occasion has been presented for
them to do so. They mostly constitute
the labor element Of the South, ana with
out them all industrial pursuits would be
FRUSTRATED. But we cannot believe that
the Dispatch accepts It's own assertion as
correct. It was intended for partizan eff
feet, bat in this it will fail. In Virginia,
on q fair, square voie on the policies of
the two parties. the Republicans would
have majority Of the white vote, In many
of the white counties, if not @ majority OF
them, the Republicans would have the
larger vote, and each year demonstrates
that tie race prejudice to which the Dis
1oatch would appeal. is losing its force. 1t
is in the counties where the coiorea vote il
the larger, that the Democrats have made
apparent gains, but this may be attribute,
be more to the Infamous Mccormick An
derson eieetcg%l law than anything else. 1t
is to the black bel5'' chat the Democrats
look to save them from utter defeat in
Virginia, They know the white vote Is
leaving them, and that they must make up
the loss in the counties where the colcred
vote is numerically the strongest, or give
aP the fight. The conditions will not be
changed by such statements as the above
from the Dispatch. That powder has been
burnt and will not serve the purpose THAI
il did at one time.

st appears from the statements given tC
the associated press that Hon. John Sher
man is going to force the question Of his
endorsement flor the Presidency at the
Republican State Convention OF that State
to assembleBon the 2Sth, at Toledo, to nom
mate State ticket. A large number of
prominent Republicans of Ohio, do not
think it good gpoiiey to raise that issue
pending the canvass for GoSerlor, but Mr..
Sherman and his friends have expressed 8
purpose to compel action by the Conven
tion. If il sia0lld be unfayorable, then
Mr.. Sherman will declare that he is moi a
candidate for the Presidential 9omina-
ton, and it is said will take no active
part either in the state or the Presidential
campaign. The motive ana the spirit of
this movement will not make Mr. Gher-
Esal any friends. 1t is plain that Mi,
Blaine is the favorite of a majority of the
Ohio Republicsas for President in 1888,
and it is to bring that isaatter to a point
that Mr.. Sherman asks for enlargement.
1t is an aggressive movement that win be
met by aggression, and whether there is
simulated endorsement OF not, it will do
Mr.. Sherman no good.

The Vhig says that the Riddleberger
bill was originally Republican measure,
that the Democrats at Lynchburg. in 1883
adopted it in self.defence; and that nine
tenths Of the voters are committed to it.
But it fails to tell its readsrs that the
Democrats in the Legislature of 1884 so
mutilated the measure as to destroy it's es-
sential defences, sap it's vitality and
consequently made it imperative. Had
they, in the recent extra session, followed
Gen. Wickham's advice anG repealed all
their obstructive legislation, and left the
Riddleberger bill as they found it, there
might be some merit in the pretense of
adherence to it now. But this they would
not do, and as the case now stands, the
Riddleberger bill, as originally enacted, is
practically dead. The Democrats have
shown at all times remarkable stupidity
and ignorance in reference to the debt.
and demonstrated their incapaclty or In
disposition to deal with it honestly. The
only way to remedy thu matter. is to vote
them out of power, and then the Republic
cans will show them how to settle the
debt finally and forever.
